Many of the major game manufacturers produced board game associated with travel. Parker Brothers' board game "All Aboard for Chicago" is one such example. Although the subject of Chicago may seem curious for a race game of this era, this game undoubtedly related to the World's Columbian Exposition, held in Chicago beginning in 1892. This world's fair held the attention of the country for the few short years it operated.
